BY OUR SPEC4L.
Those vho claim to be )osted astc
the Cahin<-t poliical situation. predict
that the following named persons will
be invited by President Cleveland to a
seat in his Cabinet
Secretary of State-T. F. Bayard,
Delaware.
Secretary of Treasury-A. S. Hewitt,
N. Y.
Secretary of War-Geo. B. McClellan,
N. J.
Secretary of Navy-W. W. Eaton,
Conn.
Secretary of I!terior-Jos. E. Mc
Donald, Indiana.
Pos.-M-Gei.-I.D. 3Ioney, 31is.
Atty-Gel.-A. H. Garl:and, Arkansas.
I expect there will be some change in
the above slate when President Cleve
land makes known his selection. Geo.
H. Pendleton of Ohio has be,n mtnn
tioned in connection with the. position
of Secretary of State, W. C. Whitney
and Wm. Dorsheimer of N. Y. and S. J.
Rantdall of Penn., with that of the See'y.
of Treasury, W.S. Ros.snerans of Califor
nia and Frank Jones of New H:impshire
with Secretary of War, A. P. Garman
of Maryland anid B. F. Jonas of Loun:s
ia:na with ihe Navy, W. Fi ti:ilsW:
coiusin, A. G. 'Thurman, Oii., and Carl
Sehinrz, Int:erior i)ep't., A. R.Liwron,
Georgia, II. G. Davi=, West Virgini:e.
Po-t-M.-Geul. Mr. G-trland seems to
have bit ittle opposition for Atty-Gen!.
Other names have been discused but
these are.the most p:oniiiient. The In
dependents, it is said, are not ask ing a
Cxbinetposition..of-"the new administra
tion. -They prefer to ocupy a neutral
position, in o'rder to retain their ide:i
tity as dist:nctly an Independent organ
ization, believing that they-can in this
way be of ~greater bent-fit to the people
and exert a g. eater influence for the
cause of reform. President Cleveland
has thus far displayed considerable skill
in harmonizing the different factionu- of
his p:rty,'and it is to be hoped that the
personal interviews which he has been
having with the Represrtntatives of the
States will give him a correct idea of
their condition and the administration
most needed to build up, solidify and
develop the uiaterial and industial in
tere.t of the' countrv.

PRESEXTMENT OF-- THE GRANt
JUELY.
To HMs Honor J.- S. Cothran. Pre
iig Jadge:
The grand jury at the close of theib
duty for the present terit of court,
would-respecifully repoFt' iat tGc;
have'arefull considered'all iatter:
given them in hand b3 ..he Solicitor.
We have, in the further prosecution
of our duty, examiaed the Conrt house
and find' it in a'fair condition, and
the offices in the Courthouse all are
in good order and weif kept. ,
'committee has been appointed o
nake a m.re . thordugh and complete
examination of the books and"offices
of all County Officers, and to repo'rt
at the next term of this edurt.
iThe jail we'do not: regard as beit}g
in 'a god -snd proper.condition ; sev:
eral of the' cells need to be over hagl
ed so as'to in'ke tliem more safe.
We would recommend that some
platz alduld be adopted by whiich t e
'btnilding 'cduldde IiEated aindmade
rhore co:iortebl'e. Tiis should be
done by a furnace and fluess as to
keep thefire opt;ot:reaiof- the'pr .
ondgs. We"' recomatend; that 'the
fence on and ,apn the Jai.kt e
repaired. also the.'staibieas; a. ntidni
is also directed to the _condition- bf
the well on the jail lot. "We can say,
nothing very favorable of tho -.pubT
lic.roade.. They are in some 'sections
in poor condition. It seems to be
the pride :and aim of many overseers
of roads' to do as little wotk ow tie
roads as possible. We find great 'cosi
plaint of a want of-tools to'work the
roads with We wuuld call the atten
tion of the County Commissioners to
this complaint. The bridges are in
good order as far as'is knowi to the
jury. We would call. attention. to the
condition of the bridge . aeross the
deep railroad cut on .Boundary street
in the city of Newberry is biought to
our notice by the Mayor and Council
of the,city. The. bridge is in danger
ous conditiou. -The .attention .of.tlre
officers of the road havq. been fre
quently 'cslled to the .ondition of
this bridge by- the Major, but as yet
n,atteitWon has been pado 4these.
rpfesentati~oas. It is the duty of the
Columbia and Greenville Railroad
company to keep this bridge in ~good
and proper repair. The bridge is too
narrow. It should be the width 'f
,he said. .street, We" recommend
that the County .Comnissioners or
proper 'autlorities be required to take
immediate action in this matter andi
press -it through at once and -see that
said..Company -comply with its obli
gations in this. mnatter.
The . Clerk of the Court calls our
attention to some books in his office
which ari in need of repairs, 'We
recomnen'd that the. Clerk have
such books properly rebound and:that
tii' County Commissioners* pay for
Sthe same out 'of~ the pr-ojper Counnty
- A committee-of our--namber- have
keeper appears'''to' --'nnd'istarid 'his
'duty. -while the :nmates 'lool- 'clea'n;
and as well' cared .for as the circum:
stances a'nd their sitnation and cony
dition will.allow. The Cou2nty Comn.
.missioners are having some additional
rocsns erected, which seem very innch
needed.;. One .of the other buildings
is greatly in need of repairs. The
committee think 'that all the bgild
ings should 'be' - whitewashed and
thoroughly renovated. They aleo think(
that.a neat and -'commodious house
should be erected near by for the use
of the keeper and family, and that
all the. buildiggssliold. be enelosed
by. a .neat. and- substantial~ fence.
And they..furth'er recommend that
the Poor House farms be.rented ear
lier than usual, say by the..first of
S<-ptemiber. This would allow,. the
renter time to sow such'grain as might
be. desired,
..t aame to the 'knowledge-of the
ju,ry that,.the business in sofne of the
offices of the County officers, for sev
eral termis back, remain yet in an uin,
settled dondition~ We' advise- that
the Solicitor or proper o$cer investi
gate this matter.an take-sach action
as may be reouired~by lSw,' to secure
a prompt and early sett-,zment of all
unsettled business i any Qnd all
the county offces
We fear, from . observation,' that
there is too, great .a tendency to en
courage small and frivolous liti.
gation in the county. This ab
sorbs the means and . time of a
class who- are ill able to spare theji
money or time. .Whie the constani
call for men to leave their business
~to sit 'on juries, without pay, is be
.comiing 'a bothersoinie tax upon. omI
Ipeople. 'They are regaired, we think
to.make too great sacrliee under' th4
'form and. pretext of law. --
We thinir the vagrant laws should
be moie atringently enforced in thi
dotnty.. an.d .especially-in the city a
- ewrberry; ;and .recoimaend 'tha
th.ese inatters ber.efered to th~
Mayor of the 'city,' oi'some other 'of
fleer may be required to- see to thi
1proper etiforcement of these laws
IWe think if these laws were propelj
enforced in the county it would ten<
to materially lessen crime in th<
county. -
